Video: DIY Wolverine could totally take the Star Wars Kid

Maybe it's just us, timid bloggers sent recoiling at the mere touch of particles from what you call the Sun. But we're finding it hard to watch the video of this Wolverine fan without feeling a bit awkward, dangerously awkward. No doubt, the craftsmanship of his Wolverine claws is superb; a flex of the bicep releases the claws with the satisfying metallic shink of Adamantium blades locking into battle mode. Nevertheless, we hope this guy won't be sitting anywhere near us in the theater this weekend. See what we mean after the break.

Update: Er, the video has been pulled. Perhaps the cardboard finally won?

They are sharp, and only cost $20 each... not a bad deal I guess.

This reminds me of Tim Vigil's Faust... I actually like this design. I have always wanted to make something like this, but have neither the mechanical knowledge or the technical knowhow to make it.

I'd be really impressed if someone made the "Deadpool" claws or the Assassins Creed Auto knife.
